Micro1 Inc.

Based in California, US, and founded in 2022 by CEO Ali Ansari, Micro1 Inc. operates as a provider of an AI-driven platform that allows for the process of identifying requirements, obtaining recommendations, interviewing developers, and conducting a one-week trial to facilitate the hiring of remote software engineers. In September 2025, Micro1 Inc. raised USD 35 million in series A funding led by new investor 01A, with participation from another new investor LG Technology Ventures.

Micro1 offers a comprehensive solution for companies seeking to expand their engineering capabilities. Their platform facilitates the hiring process by presenting a pool of pre-vetted software engineers, and clients can select the best fit for their needs. The company vetting process begins with GPT-4-powered technical assessments, followed by a screening call and 1-2 technical interviews conducted by senior engineers. This stringent process is further complemented by a soft skills interview to assess candidates' communication, passion, and attitude.

Once engineers pass this rigorous selection, they receive AI-powered engineer training, which equips them with valuable skills and tools, making them approximately two times more efficient in their work. Furthermore, Micro1 takes care of complex international employment laws, global payroll, and benefits, enabling hassle-free global compliance. The company plans to use the September 2025 funding to expand its engineering team, enhance its AI-driven hiring platform, and support global operations.
